nickijay Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 I'm terrified of heights. I think I'd be afraid to jump out of the plane once I got up there. Has anyone done it and was it a tandem or solo jump?? I really want to try it, I think it'd be a rush!------------------ Boink like a bunny!!!

resident Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Done it - it's definitely worth it. Go for the solo - tandem is kind of a watered-down experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evovr6 Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 I did it, my chute didn't open, I fell 10,000 feet and bounced off the ground without a scratch. No, just kidding never done it but I really want to.------------------ http://nastynate.tsx.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quanto_magnus Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Hey Nicki,I've done it. It was a total blast!!!!! What an experience! I went with a friend who was scared of heights, I don't think it totally cured him of it, but he did say that the dive itself wasen't that bad and it gave him a litttle better perspective.I did the tandem jump and it was great. A little instructional, then you get to jump with a 5000 ft freefall. I disagree with resident for skydiving the first time. Unless you have a couple of days to take a class and doa few jumps, I think you get a better experience from the tandem jump. Most of the time if you do it solo, the first couple of jumps are static line jumping, so you have no freefall. When I did the tandem jump, my "jump master" made us do 2 backflips, then we fell facing upward to see the plane go away, then he flipped us into a barrel roll (~120mph), then a short straight dive, then finally slowed us down a little for getting ready to deploy the chute.Whichever way you end up deciding to do it, def try it though... I would do it again no problem, actually have been condiering it, but I don't know any places out here and it would be hard to compete being able to do it in shorts and a t-shirt like I did in California... ------------------Hugha.k.a. ibhugh, Bryan Adamsemail: ibhugh@yahoo.comaolim: hugesk8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungee Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Was gonna go coupla months ago but my ole lady told me that at high altitudes there is a chance a man's balls can implode from the decreased air pressure. I've been researching this but damn if that's a lie I'm gonna go soon.

Crackorn Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 I think Choon and I were telling you of the time I jumped off the cliff, which isn't the same (no free fall) but I can't believe I did it. After you do it, you'll be glad you did. ------------------Too crazy for Boys Town, too much of a boy for Crazy Town.Do what thou wilt.

dzadza Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 I've done the tandem jump once. It was one of the most thrilling experiences in my life. I'd recommend doing the tandem, cause if you do solo, most likely there will be no free fall at all, which was the best part of it. I also got a video tape of it (in some places if you pay an extra $30-$40 they have a third guy jumping by himself with a video camera taping everything). If you can, definitely get the video too, it's well worth it. Hard to describe how it feels, you gotta try it for yourself. The memories will last forever.------------------Don't forget to fly...
